gnutls_x509_crq_sign2(3)	    gnutls	      gnutls_x509_crq_sign2(3)

NAME
       gnutls_x509_crq_sign2 - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/x509.h>

       int  gnutls_x509_crq_sign2(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, gnutls_x509_privkey_t
       key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int	flags);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
		   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
		   holds a private key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig
		   The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256

       unsigned	int flags
		   must	be 0

DESCRIPTION
       This function will sign the certificate request	with  a	 private  key.
       This  must be the same key as the one used in gnutls_x509_crt_set_key()
       since a certificate request is self signed.

       This must be the	last step in a certificate  request  generation	 since
       all the previously set parameters are now signed.

       A  known	 limitation  of	 this function is, that	a newly-signed request
       will not	be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification),	 until
       it is exported an re-imported.

       After  GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of	 dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN,	and in
       that case, a suitable but reasonable for	the key	algorithm will be  se-
       lected.

RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS	  on   success,	  otherwise  a	negative  error	 code.
       GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND is	returned if you	didn't set all	infor-
       mation	in   the   certificate	 request   (e.g.,  the	version	 using
       gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).
